ADATA SP900.

 

One of the best SSD choices for the money out there. https://pcpartpicker.com/part/a-data-internal-hard-drive-asp900s3128gmc

Base model SanDisk SSD isn't that good and forum members who have used it have reported pretty boring speeds and some NAND write issues

[Aytex]

No

It is good drive for the price but anyway.

 

ADATA SP600 is OK while barely more expensive

Cheap shouldn't mean crap, wouldn't kill to spend $5 more to get something much better in both speed and reliability.

It's fine! Nothing wrong with learning from other people's suggestions, and Kingston really needs to get their game together

depends on just how cheap you want to go. the Patriot Torch is super cheap. and not terrible

I have a 60GB one. 1) It's not enough for a boot drive (stupid me) and 2) the reads/writes/IOPS are unexceptional.

[Goldensapling]

Try a 120gb Kingston Fury perhaps?

Is 60 GB not enough to install Windows 8.1?

Samsung 850 Evo 120GB ($67)

if you want to focus on cheap, I'd say go with Silicon Power S60 120GB, about $50 on Amazon and is very fast for 120GB size.

If you rather want value, the 850 EVO Samsung came down in price a lot, and you could score one from 3rd party amazon seller for $65ish. Better nand, controller etc.

pls get 120gb

I want to get a 1TB hard drive for storage and an SSD for my OS, will 60 GB not be enough? Will I have to buy a 120+GB SSD?
